預防跌倒(Fall Prevention)是 NCLEX 的常考重點,核心原則是「環境安全」與「減少傷害」。當病人有跌倒史,將病床維持在最低位置(Lowest position)可縮短若不慎跌落時的墜落距離,直接降低受傷嚴重度。此外,護理師需評估病人跌倒風險分級(如 Morse Fall Scale),採取如床邊警鈴、夜燈、移除障礙物等措施,而非限制病人的基本活動權利。
Placing the bed in the lowest position is the most effective strategy to reduce the severity of injury if a fall occurs, aligning with fall prevention principles. Restraining patients or restricting movement is generally avoided as it can increase agitation and does not address the root cause of fall risk.
